Can you try importing the "dl" and "DLFCN" modules? Under Python 3, both should fail to load, and if they do load, then something is wrong and have to find out where Python is finding them.<br>

The first one imports but I can't figure out where from, and the second one doesn't import.<br>

I've checked if something named dl was in my variable $PYTHONPATH folders, but it isn't the case.<br>
<br>
I do have a ~/dl folder though, and the problem disappears if I rename it or don't launch the interpreter from the ~ folder. This is weird because there's not ~/dl/__init__.py or ~/dl.py<br>
<br>
I'm not sure whether this is VTK or python bug, but I've found a workaround: launch the interpreter from somewhere else than my homedir.<br>
